The early sundial was a hollow half bowl with a bead (有孔小珠 ) fixed in the center. As the
35、 sun traveled across the sky, the shadow of the bead traveled in and is across the face of the bowl. The bowl was divided into 12 equal parts called hours. The length of these hours varied with the seasons, as days were longer or shorter. In the summer an hour might have been half again as long as o
36、ur hours now, in the winter only half as long. For 1,600 years this way of measuring hours by dividing the daylight into 12 parts didnt change. A minute is the sixtieth part of an hour and a second is the sixtieth part of a minute. Both of these measurements are for convenience in dividing time into
37、 useful sections. The ancient Babylonians reckoned time more accurately than the people who came after than for several thousand years. They used a water clock, the water running through a hole of a very carefully calculated size from one jar into another. The time it took for the water to drip comp
38、letely through was the length of the day of the equinox. Day and night are equal at that time, each lasting 12 hours. Our modem industry depends on clocks and timing. Assembly lines run on exact time schedules. In the manufacture of almost every article around you there are certain processes that mu
39、st be timed precisely. China must be baked for an exact length of time, glass hardened, paint dried electrically, canned food processed. If you look around your room, you will probably see dozens of other things that had to be timed when they were made, some of them to a millionth of a second. Parts
40、 of radio tubes and light bulbs must be timed as exactly as this. Our whole world runs on a time schedule. Trains and planes, schools and business, radios, traffic lights, and the cake for dessert all depend on the clock. Flyers make a clock out of the sky, so they can call directions. They imagine
41、it to be a huge clock face with their plane at the center of the dial. The nose of the plane points to 12 oclock. Then if one man yells “see gull at 2 oclock“, everybody knows exactly where to look. 51 The first time-measuring invented around 700 BC was shaped like a_. （ A） flying saucer （ B） bowl （
42、 C） flat disk （ D） ball 52 Measured by the sundial, an hour in the summer is_.our hours now. （ A） only half as long as （ B） a little longer than （ C） the same as （ D） one and a half as long as 53 The early Babylonians kept fairly accurate time by means of_. （ A） a standing pole （ B） a measuring glas
43、s （ C） a clock moved by water （ D） water jars with measured openings 54 When they are made, parts of radio tubes must be timed_. （ A） to a certain length of time （ B） much longer than light bulbs （ C） to a millionth of a second （ D） as exactly as china and glass 55 “Flyers make a clock out of sky.“
44、means flyers_. （ A） imagine the sky to be a huge clock face （ B） tell time by observing the sky （ C） regard the sky as a sundial （ D） keep their plane at the center of the sky 55 A fathers relationship to his childs current and future academic success and the level of his or her development in acade
45、mic potential and scholastic achievement are both factors with some rather interesting implications that educators are beginning to study and evaluate. As a matter of fact, “life with father“ has been discovered to be a very important factor in determining a childs progress or lack of progress in sc
46、hool. A recent survey of over 16,000 children made by the National Child Development Study in London, England, revealed that children whose fathers came to school conferences and accompanied their children on outing did measurably better in school than did those children whose fathers were not invol
47、ved in those activities. The study, which monitored children born during a week in March, 1958, from the time of their birth through the years of their early schooling, further revealed that the children of actively involved fathers scored as much as seven months higher in reading and math than did
48、those children whose only involved parent was the mother. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the role played by fathers in the raising of a child. It indicated a much higher level of parental involvement by the father than had been estimated. Over 66% of the fathers were said to have played a
49、major role in parental responsibility. The study also suggested that the greatest level of paternal parenting took place in the families of only children. As the number of children and financial obligations increases, the fathers apparent interest and involvement with the children decreased. However, no matter what the size or financial condition of the family, a fathers active participation in the childs development made a definite difference in the childs
